"I have voted in favour of compromise Amendments Nos 61-74, which were adopted together.
At the same time, I want to express my very great surprise at the view of children and elderly people, parents, family life and family unity, as well as of simple, decent love of thy neighbour, which comes to light in the following words to be found in the justification of compromise Amendment 72 on the subject of finding necessary resources for making it easier to reconcile working and family life, mainly by setting benchmarks for improved childcare and care of the elderly (which I interpret as also applying to care of children by their own parents in their own homes): ‘The need for childcare and care of elderly family members form obstacles to women’s activity in professional, political or social spheres at various periods in their lives’. It is mainly the words ‘form obstacles to’ and ‘the need for childcare and care of elderly family members’ which cause me deep concern.
Moreover, is ‘activity in professional, political or social spheres’, to quote the justification, the highest good and only thing of value for individual human beings? Is it this to which the political authorities attach the highest importance, while family life – the basic unit of society – and the intimate and human values associated with it are now also to be disregarded and devalued in this way?"@en1
